Hueningkai rolled into his back and clutched his rib, the place where the burning pain was coming from. He figured it wasn't broken, just badly bruised. Like his face. He could taste the blood from the cut on his lip as he watched the thugs leave the cell he called his bedroom for the time being.
"Next time. Don't disobey the head. You're lucky you get a small beating. Take today to think over how you'll Carry out your new mission." The door slammed behind the men. Hueningkai hated this place. He just wanted to go home.
"Soobin...Im sorry....." Hueningkai played around with the gun that he had gotten from the head a while ago, to kill soobin. He really wants to eliminate any heir to that mafia...by any means...
"Hide here." Yeonjun opened a small space in his closet. Behind the clothing rack. Beomgyu was staring blankly at the door.
"You really have to go again?" Beomgyu said flatly. Stone faced.
"Hey, hey it'll be alright I'll come back after lessons and we can think of ways to catch the spy ok? Trust me?" Yeonjun stroked beomgyus cheek gently, giving a hopeful smile.
"Can't wait till your dad leaves again.." beomgyu gave a half hearted laugh and leaned his cheek into yeonjun's hand.
"Me either. It's just his routine visit. He should be gone in a couple days. Then we can solve the spy and-"
"And I can go home?" Beomgyu smiled. "You promised. I help you. You help me."
"Yeah...I'll take you home." Yeonjun grew sad at the thought but had no intention to go back on his promise.
Beomgyu leaned forward and hugged yeonjun. A warm hug. Yeonjun wanted to cry at how much he wanted to hug his new friend forever. Was that weird? To want to hug him? Help him. Keep him. Love him-
"Alright. You'd better go. I know where to hide if he comes back." Beomgyu smiled and broke the hug.
"Yeah. Right. I'll see you later." Yeonjun smiled back and left the room hesitantly.
"Junnieeee he's been gone all day!!! He has to hate me now!!!" Soobin was currently sulking at the table across from yeonjun, completely ignoring the studies he was supposed to be doing.
"For the last time, it's probably his day off or something. It's not the end of the world. Besides I heard you're busy today trying to get a meeting with mom. What's that about?" Yeonjun sent an eyebrow raise towards soobin.
"I found out something weird....I wanted to confirm it with her, it could help with a dangerous situation." Soobin spoke awkwardly. Like he was hiding something.
"You keeping secrets from me soobs? Oooo you're finally acting like a teenager." Yeonjun laughed and teased before they heard the library doors swing open.
"BOYYSSS!!!" yeonjuns mother made her usual loud entrance and went over, hugging the two like she hadn't seen them in a million years.
"Hey mom."
"Hi auntie! You got my message!" Soobin smiled as she ruffled his hair.
"Of course darling! You know I'd check any message from you two! What's this meeting all about hmm?" His aunt took a seat at the table and rested her head in her hands.
Yeonjun was curious too. Soobin looked a little nervous to say anything. Fiddling with his fingers. Biting his lip. Shifting in his chair.
"Are you guys a mafia?"
"Don't forget the mask dimwit." The driver shoved a white mask into the black duffel bag to go with Hueningkai. Who was staring at the mansion like it was a cruel fate awaiting.
"Kill him clean kid. Straight to the head. Up close. Got it? Boss wants it done this week." The driver basically booted Hueningkai out of the car and watched him crawl through the tiny hole in the fence.
Hueningkai hid the duffel bag in the garden bush where he usually pretended to garden. He didn't feel good. Not just because he was asked to kill soobin this week. But because he felt cold, sweaty, and tired. He felt dizzy while trying to focus on trimming a hedge. Putting on his flowered gardening hat soobin had got him on his first day to protect him from the afternoon sun. He peeked over the bush, expecting soobin to come running after seeing him. But the boy hadn't seen him yet.
Was soobin busy today? Maybe he was lucky and he wouldn't come.
Soobin slumped down the hallway, dragging his feet. They had denied anything about a mafia, saying he was delusional, and sent him off. Just like that. He was more than frustrated.
"That poor boy, you think he got it from school? Bullies? The flower hat isn't really hiding it. Oh dear."
Soobin overheard some maids gossiping while staring out the hallway window. Flower hat?
Soobin politely approached. "Excuse me, could I see?"
"Oh sure sir, go ahead." The maids moved aside so soobin could look out the window.
Soobins day quickly became brighter when he saw the familiar flower hat behind the garden hedges, trimming away. He smiled and ran outside, running over.
"Hueningkai! Hey!"
Hueningkais head peeked up over the hedge at the sound of his name being called and he smiled at his friend approaching him.
Soobins smile fell as he saw Hueningkais bruised face smiling at him.
"What happened?" Soobin said sadly, examining Kai's bruises.
"I got hurt at my dad's construction site. No biggie." Hueningkai lied.
"Aw man ....let's get you an ice pack yeah?" Soobin helped Hueningkai up from the ground and led him inside to the kitchen for an ice pack.
"Guess it's my turn to hold an ice pack to your eye huh?" Soobin laughed.
Hueningkai hit soobin and screeched. "YAH! YOU KNOW THAT WAS AN ACCIDDDEEENNTT"
Soobin dodged Kai's attacks and handed him the ice pack to do himself.
"Thanks soobin."
"For what?"
"For being so nice to me."
Soobin smiled with his back to Hueningkai. Preparing pain killers for him.
"What do you mean? Were friends aren't we? Why did you show up late today?" Soobin turned to face Kai with the pain killers but dropped them when he saw Hueningkai drooping to the floor.
"Kai? Kai?!" Soobin felt his forehead. He was burning up. Fever. Soobin turned around and offered his back to Kai.
"Here hop on quick." Soobin clasped his arms around hueningkais legs as hueningkais arms draped over his shoulder.
"I'm sorry I'm a burden today...." Hueningkai murmured.
"Nononono Kai youre alright! It's a fever, everyone gets them, I'm going to help you." Soobin opened his bedroom door and set Hueningkai on the bed, letting him droop comfortably.
"Jeez- can't you take better care of yourself?" Soobin removed hueningkais shoes and socks before putting them under the comforter.
"I'm going to get cold water and a rag. I'll be right back ok?" Soobin said as he jogged out the door.
"Mmm....ok" Hueningkai said. Watching soobin leave. He looked around the room and couldn't help but be reminded of what he was supposed to do this week. It was haunting him.
Straight in the head. Close range.
